Saturday night he got back on the winning side of things, finishing Luan Chagas with a rear-naked choke with just over a minute left in the fight. The win earned him a 50k bonus for ‘Fight of the Night’. This is a big win for Silva, especially in front of a home crowd.

Cyborg Dominates Again, Rogan Calls for a 145 Division

It wasn’t ever very close between Cris ‘Cyborg’ and Lina Lansberg, more so a “How long will she survive?” situation.

Lansberg is tough, and seemed to enjoy herself (see post-fight below) but she is still nowhere in the same league as Cyborg.

With the fight being at 140 lbs., we’ve seen how brutal Cyborg’s weigh cut can be, so the UFC’s own Joe Rogan has suggested a division be built around her, to support his theory that weight classes usually rise to the talent of their champion. Something our own Dave disagrees with on our latest podcast, citing Mighty Mouse’s division, where an entire season of The Ultimate Fighter was created just to find him an opponent.

Nelson Easily Smashes BigFoot, Could Face Punishment

Punishment for KO-ing his good friend Silva? No, but it’s what happened after the second-round knockout that has potentially landed ‘Big Country’ Roy Nelson in hot water.

Upset at having to throw what I call a “brain damage punch” to Silva’s face, Nelson lashed out, kicking referee Big John McCarthy and then giving him the middle finger.
